A little bit about me

Hello, I'm Lynn! I'm an undergrad college student with an existing associate’s degree. I will be in the Chester and Blooming Grove area until mid-August, when I have to return to my out-of-state university. I enjoy crafts, music, movies, and crafting fun experiences for your children! Whether it be hosting a game night, teaching them to make bracelets or charms, or having a karaoke night, I prioritize fun while maintaining a safe-structured environment suited to parental requests. I am familiar with CPR and first aid, but am working on getting certified. I enjoy meal-prepping healthy and tasty foods and I am diligent about keeping your home clean. I hope to hear from you!
